Tuesday 12th May 2015

Kids went to breakfast club as usual on a weekday.  I then had to get back, get washed and dressed ready for Good 2B Me.  Its a course run by the Norfolk County Council and its suppose to help with self esteem and confidence, I  was referred onto the course during a difficult time and the professionals thought that I was lacking in these things.

Today,we discussed our strengths and our hopes and dreams, we did a computer program with someone called Sid which was suppose to be a career guidance thing that told you about your strengths and what sort of job you should go for - or you might like to research.  The confidence booster printout was produced from a which colour do you prefer thing.  Mine said I would be a “good boss” I don’t know if I like the sound of that.

I'm a bit confused by it really because it said I was ambitious but I'm not, I'm happy to be doing the job I'm doing.  I'm wondering a lot about it and if I redid it tomorrow what my results will be.

The second print out we did with Sid was our Personal Profile this was in relation to the statements that were asked …

I would just like to point out here that I did not get a chance to view this on the computer it was just printed without me reading it (and he got me to date it next week)

With Diana we did an activity called “All about me”.  We went through the headings and listed what we thought were GOOD qualities, we weren't allowed to write anything negative about ourselves this is a session about our STRENGTHS not our weaknesses.

The last part of today's session was What is precious and special about me.  We highlighted (and circled in my case) the qualities that described us…

What would you choose to describe yourself? what would you put on your All About Me?

The rest of my day consisted of getting my money from the cash point, I only had £80 because i was stupid at the weekend and I took the money out of the machine then went into the supermarket and paid by card (duh no money in there you just took it all out!).   So when it comes to the end of the month I am going to have some charges to pay!

I also wasted my money on silly things, £4.99 went on sun shades for the car windows, I'm fed up with the kids complaining constantly on sunny days.  I also bought a DAB radio it cost £29.99 but it sounds AMAZING! it will be great in the bedroom where we don't have a radio and as a bonus I can put batteries in it and use it in the bathroom which I used to love being able to do.  Just hope I can stretch the food in the freezer to run until Friday when I can maybe get some money off Jon.
